The Therapist

"Named One of the Most Anticipated Thriller Novels Of 2017 by Bustle! THE NEW CHILLING, PROPULSIVE NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust? Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside--the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped. But since then, she's been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn't have a baby. The only thing she can't forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt. Or the silent calls she's receiving, or the feeling that someone's watching her ... You won't be able to put down B.A. Paris's The Breakdown, the next chilling, propulsive novel from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors"--

Un thriller amatissimo dai lettori di tutto il mondo: 22.987 recensioni su Goodreads, con una media di 4 su 5; 5870 recensioni su Amazon UK, con una media di 4.2; media recensioni di 4.2 su Amazon FR e Amazon US Jack e Grace sono la coppia perfetta... o la bugia perfetta? Chiunque avesse l’occasione di conoscere Jack e Grace Angel penserebbe che sono la coppia perfetta. Lui un avvocato di successo, affascinante, spiritoso. Lei una donna elegante e una padrona di casa impeccabile. Chiunque allora vorrebbe conoscere meglio Grace, diventare sua amica, scoprendo però che è quasi impossibile anche solo prendere un caffè con lei: non ha un cellulare né un indirizzo email, e comunque non esce mai senza Jack al proprio fianco. Chiunque penserebbe che in fondo è il classico comportamento degli sposi novelli, che non vogliono passare nemmeno un minuto separati. Eppure, alla fine, qualcuno potrebbe sospettare che ci sia qualcosa di strano nel rapporto fra Grace e Jack. E chiedersi per esempio perché, subito dopo il matrimonio, Grace ha lasciato un ottimo lavoro sebbene ancora non abbia figli, perché non risponde mai nemmeno al telefono di casa, perché ci sono delle sbarre alle finestre della camera da letto. E a quel qualcuno potrebbe venire il dubbio che, forse, la coppia perfetta in realtà è la bugia perfetta... Con oltre 600.000 copie vendute in soli cinque mesi dall’uscita in libreria, La coppia perfetta è uno degli esordi più travolgenti dell'anno in Inghilterra. Grazie al ritmo serrato e alla straordinaria efficacia nello svelare i segreti oscuri di un matrimonio, ha entusiasmato sia i lettori sia gli editori di tutto il mondo, che si sono contesi i diritti di pubblicazione in aste agguerrite. Attualmente è in corso di traduzione in 30 Paesi. «Inquietudine e curiosità accompagnano il lettore dalla prima all'ultima (appagante) pagina». Panorama «Una storia che, tra colpi di scena e lampi di follia, conduce il lettore negli angoli più oscuri della psiche, tenendolo con il fiato sospeso fino alle ultime righe». Libero

La moglie imperfetta

BA Paris schreef met Gebroken een waardige opvolger van Achter gesloten deuren. Paris is een auteur van wereldformaat en met Gebroken bevestigt ze haar status als de ‘queen of domestic crime’! Het begon op die avond in het bos. Cass Anderson stopte niet om een vrouw te helpen, en nu is die vrouw dood. Vermoord. Sindsdien vergeet ze steeds meer: waar ze haar auto heeft geparkeerd, of ze haar medicijnen heeft ingenomen, waarom ze een kinderwagen bestelde ook al heeft ze geen baby. Wat ze niet kan vergeten is de vrouw die ze misschien had kunnen redden en het verschrikkelijke schuldgevoel. En de telefoontjes van iemand die zwijgt. Er is iemand die haar in de gaten houdt...
